Text Appearing Before Image:
67,that This particular marking has not, so far as I am aware,been photographed before. Professor Barnard, in a kindlyletter, has given me references to several earlier photographsshowing this feature, including one by Dr. Isaac Roberts takenJanuary 25, 1900, and reproduced in the Astrophysical Journal,\ol. 17, Plate I\\ p. 76; and one by himself, reproduced inthe negative form in Vol. 38, Plate XX, p. 496, of the samejournal. The earliest photograph on which it can be detectedappears to be one taken at Harvard on February 6, 1888, byProfessor W. H. Pickering (Harvard Annals. Vol. 32, PlateIII, Fig. 3.). The caption for Figure 9, p. 128. should read EratosthenesMethod of Determining the Size of the Earth. In Figure 14, p. 183, the letter V and the words Line ofEquinoxes should be stricken out. The horizontal line maybe assumed to be the intersection of the plane of the ellipseswith the plane of the Earths orbit, or the line of nodes. R. G. AlTKEN. THE ADOLFO STAHL LECTURESIN ASTRONOMY
